I want to be silent In a world that is not quiet Don’t want to answer the question So, don’t ask The questions are loud Like a SHOUT They resound in my head Can’t block the sound out Let me have QUIET Hush, as silent as a grave Now I can hear the answers Form quickly in my head Will you ask me again? I can allow just one more time And I will answer in truth We have but a minute before The rockets fall in deathly tumble So, ask me through your tears And angry retribution Was I the one to bring the insurrection? Yes, and yes again, I did what I said A promise, I made to one and all I am the voice they follow, my loyal flock So now at the final, we are on top of the pile And when the storm has hit, then settles And the world fades into QUIET I can SHOUT into the silence

QUIET
I want to be silent In a world that is not quiet Don’t want to answer the question So, don’t ask The questions are loud Like a SHOUT They resound in my head Can’t block the sound out Let me have QUIET Hush, as silent as a grave Now I can hear the answers Form quickly in my head Will you ask me again? I can allow just one more time And I will answer in truth We have but a minute before The rockets fall in deathly tumble So, ask me through your tears And angry retribution Was I the one to bring the insurrection? Yes, and yes again, I did what I said A promise, I made to one and all I am the voice they follow, my loyal flock So now at the final, we are on top of the pile And when the storm has hit, then settles And the world fades into QUIET I can SHOUT into the silence
